> [@Joe](#): > > mod crew, are you sure civicjim isnt a troll account? I mean, it’s like yambag fucked the tailpipe of a civic and he came out. i’d like to think no real person is that stupid. Yeah that boy ain’t right. Anyhow, oh well. Honda makes their money by producing quality reliable cars. The stook is a pretty cool car, but it seems like more of a marketing tool than money maker, kind of fanning the flames (so to speak) of their cult ricer following. It probably went a long way towards avoiding a boring image, ya know? They make mostly boring cars, yet there’s still a ton of kids who say they’re sports cars, so toss a real sports car out there and voila: broad market appeal. ---

> [@boardjnky4](#): > > I doubt that is really the real reason. I think it probably costs too much to produce. Not to mention, even though it is a 4 cylinder, that motor is basically tapped out on power running at 12:1 CR. It takes a lot to make a car go fast, no matter how lightweight it is. That’s news to me that the S2000 is 12:1 CR. :picard: There’s been rumors for years that this car was going to get axed. It never did. It was pretty certain it would be this year since they came out with the S2000 CR last year. Honda always comes out with “special editions” of their cars a couple years before they end it. ---

that just means you’re not a driver… I’ve had more fun in an S2000 late braking into a turn and diving for the apex than I did driving a 500whp 350z at the glen… nimble, lightweight and responsive FTW. ---

I don’t know about that… the S2000 was the halo car (more so with the NSX gone). you need something to pull people into the showrooms and also have pride in their brand even if they got the minivan. ---
